Hello everyone,
My name is Shelley and I'm the coordinator of a project that I believe will be very useful to you. I wanted to take this opportunity to briefly tell you about the Product Access Project and extend an invitation for
you to become a part of the Project. The P A P concerns itself with making product packaging info such as:

1. Cooking Directions
2. Nutritional Information
3. Ingredients
4. Allergy Information
5. Company Contact Information

more accessible to those with little or no vision. At present, there are
120 products on the home site of the project and I'd like to see more
added.

The project has a mailing list associated with it that let's subscribers know of new submissions and additions of product as well as other developments involving the project. I strongly urge those interested in being involved with the project to subscribe to this list so they can be involved in the discussions/polls that are posted to the list.

Anyone can submit a product using a form that is located on the project's homepage at: Product Access Project HomePage. It can also be obtained on the YahooGroups site under the Administrative Documents folder. Once completed, the product submission should be sent to me at Email: Shelley.Proulx for proofing/formatting. I will then add the product to the site within 24 to 48 hours. The ProductForm.txt document is best viewed with Microsoft WordPad & Microsoft Word. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.

You may also send in requests for specific products or product types. List subscribers can submit their requests directly to the P.A.P. list. We will do our best to fulfill the request, but the 24 to 48 hour stipulation will not apply in this case.

If you have any further questions or need more information, please don't hesitate to contact me directly. This project is for the benefit of all those who are losing or have lost/never had their sight. You can make a
difference!

Thank you in advance for any support/input you can give!

Sincerely,
Shelley S. Proulx, Project Coordinator/P.A.P. List Moderator
